Description B Mikowski 2017-04-27 01:23:38 UTC
Description:
In BASE/LibreOffice v5.1.5, I had a page Header with header fields that printed on every page.  (e.g., Last Name, First Name, InvoiceDate, Invoice #).  When I moved to any version higher than 5.1.5, the page header would no longer preview/print the headers.  I'm currently using v 5.2.5.1 release, and the problem exists in this version too.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a sample table with a few columns and add a few rows of data. 
2. In base, create a report based using wizard or manually.  
3. Place titles in the page header section.
4. Try previewing/printing the report.

Actual Results:  
Text/titles placed in the page headers will not dipslay in print preview or if you print the report.

Expected Results:
The titles should print in the headers to describe the data below them.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: NA using Linux/OpenSuse LEAP 42.2

Additional Info:
There is a workaround IFF you always expect your report to print less than 60 lines.  You can move the fields to the report header, but then it should/will only print on the first page of the report.  I've been using page header functionality since LO 3.x, so I consider this a major regression.  :-(

I have a similar issue: Page headers & footers are created but they are not visible in the report document. Have you tried editing each report document to set Format -> Page -> Header/Footer -> Autofit height, so that the headers & footers appear and can be printed?

This may be a duplicate of my bug 107215.

B Mikowski:  As you are running LEAP 42.2 you may want to copy this to the Novell bugzilla (they have bounced my report because I am still using OpenSuse 13.2 which has reached EOL).
